WotEver Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 If you switch off the Victron do your 13A sockets work? Do you have another shore lead you could try? Maybe borrow one off another boater? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Bob Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 What model combi is it? Need a bit more info. Is it working in inverter mode? My victron Phoenix had a hiccup last year and after a shore power outage, didn't turn back on when the power returned. As we we off the boat, we then had no shore power. Never again trust a combi. Rewired and bought a cheap victron IP22 30A charger and use the combi as inverter only with 240v to the boat but not via the Victron combi. Separates is the way forward.

Tony Brooks Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 If it really is a Vectron and not a Victron as others have assumed and spelt it the you probably have a far eastern knock off so in all likelihood not to be trusted reliability and safety wise.

Dr Bob Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 We have an assortment of plugs and sockets left over from lumpy boat days i.e. Y splitters, 16 to 32A, etc but the most useful is a 'blue' Male to a standard 13A socket to test bollards. Plug it in then plug in something inside the boat that comes to hand like Mrs Bobs hairdryer.......but don't drop it into the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I always carried one of those, left over from our camping days, for exactly the same purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
